Calendars in uConnect allow you to segment and organize your Events by audience or category. Under the Manage section of your uConnect platform, you can create, edit, and manage multiple Calendars to keep your Events structured.
How to create a new Calendar
To create a new Calendar, navigate to your Manage section, click "Calendars," then click "Add New." Enter a name for your Calendar and configure any additional settings, then save to create it. This is also where you can edit existing Calendars.
Pro Tip: We recommend basing your Calendars on Audience/Stakeholder groups, such as Students, Alumni, Employers, etc. so you can organize events into one Calendar for that particular audience.
Assign Events to a Calendar
Once your Calendar is created, you can assign specific Events to it. To do this, navigate to Publish > Events, choose an Event, and select "Edit." From the "Calendars" dropdown, select the corresponding Calendar. Note that an Event can be assigned to more than one Calendar. Be sure to save your changes by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking "Save."
Change which Calendar displays on the Front Page
You may have Events appearing on your Front Page header/banner image, and if you do, you have the ability to change which Calendar of events appears there.
To update this, navigate to Customize>Settings>Frontpage, and then for the "Events Calendar" field, you can select which Calendar you'd like to use for the Front Page from the dropdown menu.
Assign Handshake RSS Feeds to Calendars
If you would like to assign specific Handshake Event RSS feeds that you've submitted to us and we've uploaded to your uConnect platform, we can reassign that feed to a specific Calendar you've created.
We have to make that update for you, so please submit a support request here.
Otherwise, if you're hoping to add new Handshake Event RSS feeds to your uConnect platform, then please submit them to our form and leave a note for us about which Calendar you'd like to assign to the feed.
